In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: Jainism徱ṣṭٲ岵پ (उद्दिष्टत्यागप्रतिमा) or simply Uddiṣṭatyāga represents the eleventh of eleven پ (stages) laid down for Jain laymen. 徱ṣṭٲ岵پ refers to “increasing the rigour of living in the direction of asceticism and refraining even from giving advice on matters relating to family honour, business and the like� according to J. L. Jaini in his “outlines of Jainism� (pp. 67-70).
These پs (e.g., uddiṣṭatyāga-پ) form a series of duties and performances, the standard and duration of which rises periodically and which finally culminates in an attitude resembling monkhood. Thus the پs rise by degrees and every stage includes all the virtues practised in those preceeding it. The conception of eleven پs appears to be the best way of exhibiting the rules of conduct prescribved for the Jaina laymen.
: archive.org: Jaina Yoga徱ṣṭٲ岵پ (उद्दिष्टत्यागप्रतिमा) refers to “the stage of renunciation of the world� and represents the tenth (and eleventh) of eleven پs (stages of spiritual progress) according to Śvetāmbara. In Digambara, the tenth پ is known as Գܳپ-ٲ岵 and in Āvaśyakacūrṇi as ṣy-ٲ岵.—In the uddiṣṭa-tyāga-پ the layman, according to the Pañcāśaka, avoids all food specially prepared for him and goes about with shaven pate or wearing a top-knot, indifferent to mundane business.
The word پ means a statue and is used in another specifcally Jaina sense to designate the dzٲ. The medieval 峦ⲹ, however, quite plainly conceive of the پs (e.g., uddiṣṭa-tyāga-پ) as performing a regular progressing series in Amitagati’s words, a DZԲ-, a ladder on each rung of which the aspirant layman is to rest for a number of months proportionate to its place on the list before he is fit to supplement and reinforce his acheivement by the practice of the succeeding stage.

Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
